Chapter 378 Longtan Moss
Layers of foam floated on the surface of the basin. As Yan Shun shook the basin, layers of ripples appeared, like the folds on an old woman's belly. At first glance, there was nothing unusual about it.
But when the basin is completely still, the foam is still rippling, which is not quite right.
Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that the soap foam is actually mixed with some dark gray flocs. If these flocs were not constantly squirming, the surface looked like rippling aquatic plants in the water. It would be difficult to see it with the naked eye.
Discover the difference between the two.
Yan Shun saw that the expressions of the few of us became serious and solemn, and whispered: "I went to check on my brother-in-law and saw that he was sleeping, so I came out to go to the bathroom. I saw that Mr. Bai had not poured out the water after washing his face.
When I was about to pour it out, I found something moving on top. What is it?"
This really bothers me, I don’t know what it is!!
I looked at Lao Bai almost subconsciously. Not only me, but Zhang Xinya and the others were no exception. It was obvious that we had the same idea.
Lao Bai was a little embarrassed by what we saw, and couldn't help but said: "Do you suspect that these things came from my face?"
"You are the only one who has ever used this basin. Is there any other possibility besides that it came from your face?"
Zhang Xinya said angrily, then stared at the floating objects in the basin, and said softly: "I think they are bugs, they don't look like it. They look like small pieces of cotton wool, so they can be said to be some kind of floating objects."
, it’s not like the floating objects are completely drifting with the current, and these things obviously move on their own, but the speed is too slow, you can’t even see them moving if you don’t watch them carefully..."
Lao Bai rubbed his face fiercely. Anyone who scratched a layer of inexplicable things from his face would probably doubt his life.
This is obviously something beyond the normal category, and it is not something that comes with Lao Bai.
The answer is already obvious, these things come from Huang Laoxie!!
They should be accumulated in Huang Laoxie's body, and the number should be extremely large. They will be excreted in small amounts along with the body's metabolism. Lao Bai is more unlucky, being teased by Huang Laoxie to death. Unless there is no accident, these things will be there.
Sometimes they got on Lao Bai's face. When Lao Bai washed his face, they got into the basin again and floated on the water.
I have never seen such a weird thing. The pickled fish on Lao Bai's face was wiped off with a paper towel before he washed his face. It just had a slight smell. I couldn't see anything at that time. It felt like microorganisms to me.
Invisible to the naked eye, it expands when exposed to water...
Just when we were at a loss what to do, Wu Shuang suddenly turned to Yan Shun and said, "Bring me some vinegar from your house. Remember, it needs to be aged vinegar, not rice vinegar!"
I glanced at Wushuang in surprise and asked, "Do you know this kind of thing?"
"Just a little idea."
Wushuang said: "It's just... not sure if it's that kind of thing."
When the jealousy came, Wushuang was so careless that he directly reached into the nozzle to fish out those flocs, which really shocked me. He was just making a guess, and he was not sure, so he dared to do it directly. It was too presumptuous.
Unfortunately, his movements were so clean and neat that I had no time to stop him. I watched helplessly as his hands splashed in the basin a few times, and pieces of floc hung on them. Then he wiped his hands hard with a dry towel.
After wiping off the water stains, those flocs immediately disappeared without a trace.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wushuang blushed, smiled shyly, poured a pot of vinegar onto his hands and towel, and saw layers of green plants that looked like moss flying quickly.
It spreads and grows, and in the blink of an eye, it’s all densely covered on your hands and towels!!
"That's right, it's that kind of thing!!"
Wushuang's tone suddenly became firm: "When exposed to the air, it leaves no trace; when exposed to water, it swells like cotton wool; when poured with vinegar, it becomes green like moss. This is the kind of ghost feed my dad talked about - Longtan moss!"
The so-called ghost feed is a term often used by ghost farmers in the south. In the eyes of ghost farmers, ghosts and monsters are no different from chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. The things used in feeding naturally become feed, and ghost feed is also called ghost feed.
It’s not just a specific thing. Ghosts like to eat incense. In the eyes of ghost raisers, incense is actually a kind of ghost feed.
Long Tan Moss is the name of this kind of thing.
If you don't have a clue, everything will be easy to explain.
Wushuang didn't pay too much attention to these flocs. He picked up the basin and poured it into the toilet. "Hula la" it was all washed away. He probably felt that it was uncomfortable for a few people to squeeze into such a narrow place.
Feeling comfortable and feeling very useless, I walked out minding my own business.
The person who grasps the truth is the uncle, so I could only follow behind him. After sitting down in the living room, I hurriedly asked what the weird function of this Longtan moss was.
"It's nothing special. In fact, it's just a plant that grows in a unique environment. It does move, but it is indeed a plant. It should be similar to moss. It's just that humans haven't discovered this thing yet. It's just the Xuanmen area.
Only a few people know that such a thing exists.”
Wushuang said softly: "My ferryman father, whom I have never met, has a detailed understanding of this kind of thing. I have read some of his notes, and I understand it fairly well."
Then Wushuang told us two old stories about ferrymen.
These two old events are related to the Yellow River.
In the 1960s, a giant turtle the size of a truck appeared in the Yellow River. This incident was widely rumored at the time and became an unsolved mystery for a time.
The ferryman is most interested in these things, how could he miss such excitement?
He personally entered the dangerous situation and witnessed the giant turtle, only to find that it was not a turtle at all, but a thousand-year-old turtle, that is, a giant turtle. This thing walked through the mud of the Yellow River and licked up a piece of the mud.
A flocculent substance.
The ferryman didn't find anything extraordinary about this thousand-year-old turtle. He had seen many things like this, but this thing was exposed in front of the world, so it was naturally exaggerated.
However, the floc swallowed up by the thousand-year-old turtle attracted the attention of the ferryman. He picked some and returned it, and found that the floc was formed by the fierce gas of the water dragon in the Yellow River, and was finally born.
He planted a plant that only grew in the Yellow River. He named this flocculus Longtan moss. The spirits in the river often feed on it, which can greatly increase their strength, but also become ferocious and powerful. The Millennium Turtle is the
After swallowing too much, he couldn't suppress his anger, so he surfaced to devour humans, and finally exposed himself, attracting people from the Xuanmen to hunt him down, and ultimately damaged himself.
In fact, after these river spirits swallowed Longtan moss, they couldn't digest it at all. Instead, it accumulated in their bodies.
In the 1980s, a ferry in the Yellow River encountered a ghost tugboat and was overturned by a water ghost. There were only two survivors. However, not long after they returned, they began to suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort. They died soon after.
When the corpse was cut open, it was found that the stomach was full of green moss. The stomach was filled and swollen like a cowhide water bladder, but it was actually stretched to death.
This is because after the water ghost attacked them, the longtan moss accumulated in the water ghost's body entered the bodies of the two people. This kind of thing turned into moss when it saw acid. There was gastric acid in the stomach, and things entered the stomach.
In fact, it’s very deadly!
After listening to this, I have a certain understanding of Longtan Moss.
There are many water dragon veins in the world, but the Yellow River is the most special one among them, because this water dragon vein is not peaceful and full of hostility. The so-called Yellow River is full of evils, which is enough to show that this water dragon vein is actually an evil one.
The Dragon River is not like the Yangtze River. Wherever it flows, there is a land of plenty.
The murderous energy in such water dragon veins is too strong, and eventually it stagnates and accumulates, forming this kind of dragon pond moss at the bottom of the river. Ghosts and ghosts eat it, but it is the product of dragon veins, but they cannot digest it and cannot nourish it.
It is understandable that the ghosts pick this stuff as feed to feed the ghosts. They only use it to do things when they are ferocious. As for the fate of the ghosts who eat this stuff, they have no control over it.
After hearing this, Brother Yao Zi frowned and said: "Apart from this? Does Longtan Moss have any other properties? Is Huang Laoxie's rational madness caused by this kind of thing?"
"It has nothing to do with this kind of thing. Otherwise, since I know about things like Long Tan Moss, how could I not think of this thing when I saw Huang Laoxie's strange madness?"
Wushuang said leisurely: "Have you forgotten the second story I told? The story of the water ghost! The water ghost string boat is harmful to people. Anyone who has come into contact with it will also be contaminated with this kind of dragon pond moss.
This thing is almost like an infectious disease, but it is also a very important clue, at least... now we know where Huang Laoxie was killed!"
Indeed, this is a very important clue!!
Huang Laoxie's madness should be due to some kind of ghostly trick that we don't know about. The key is that the thing that played the ghostly trick on him was carrying Longtan moss. When it harmed him, the Longtan moss was passed to her.
.
Only things in the Yellow River will eat this kind of longtan moss!!
I stood up immediately, turned around and asked Yan Shun: "What villages are there on the Yellow River near you?"
